    Just watched this on TV tonight.
    Admittedly i didn't see the whole thing but from what i saw and reading the plot on wiki/imdb it does seem a bit unbelievable.

    Basically, a group of 6 take a yacht to go diving, forgetting to drop the ladder thus finding themselves unable to get back onto the boat, thus being stranded, treading water miles from nowhere.

    OK, fair enough, dumb initial mistake with serious consequences.
    Arguably forgiveable.

    But what happens next (all manner of stupidity tbh) seems too unbelievable.

    The only excuse, i suppose, being panic in such adversity.
    But still.

    Reading discussions on IMDB about a possible solution, i find myself agreeing with suggestions that they should've collaborated more- 5 forming a human raft from which the sixth could jump from etc.

    It was such a grim and frustrating movie- mostly because of this failure to collaborate.

    In some ways, i guess this was the message.
    Anyone see it tonight?
    What would your solution be? :p
